Daysave is a financial app that helps users improve their credit score and gain control over their personal finances.

80% of users dropped off before creating an account,indicating that the onboarding experience didn’t clearly convey the app’s value.

Increase user engagement

Users didn’t return or explore beyond their first interaction.

Craft a good user experience

Design a clear and motivating experience that makes it easy for users to feel in control of their money.

Redundant information

Long onboarding

Most functionalities are locked behind paywalls
